Just as a “cradle” for growth of enterprises, an enterprise incubator can provide strong support for startups and innovative activities. On February 5, the reporter learned from Chongqing Science and Technology Commission that enterprise incubators of Chongqing have covered in 28 districts and counties. In order to satisfy the need for cultivation of major industrial parks in districts and counties, based on science and technology business nursery, enterprise incubator and accelerator, last year, Chongqing speeded up the construction of an innovation and startup service system last year. So far, Chongqing has cultivated and identified 5 nurseries, 2 accelerators and 62 incubators for science and technology enterprises, among which 9 are national incubators. “All of these are considered to be carriers for developing medium, small and micro-sized science and technology enterprises. They provide offices, infrastructures and a series of advisory services for new enterprises, lowering the risk and cost of entrepreneurs, increasing the success rate of businesses, and enabling the transformation of more optimistic scientific and technological achievements.” According to relevant person from Chongqing Science and Technology Commission, Amazon Web Services (AWS), a cloud platform subordinated to Amazon, has been successfully brought in Tian’an Cyber Park in Dadukou District. Based on big data and cloud computing, we have built an incubation platform which can provide entrepreneurs with both technical supports related to data computing, storage, analysis and application, and all-around services including Angel investment, business development and management. Statistics suggest that Chongqing has set up science and technology enterprise incubators in 28 districts and counties, covering an area of 1.8 million square meters, and has built a stable team , consisting of over 430 entrepreneurship tutors. The team has incubated 2,856 enterprises in total, 247 of which have completed the training. Relevant person from Chongqing Science and Technology Commission revealed that Chongqing will give full support to 5-10 enterprise incubators this year. It will enhance its ability and level of incubation. In addition, it will support the construction of 10 incubation bases for college students to engage in innovation and startup activates, inspiring their entrepreneurial passion and creating more employment opportunities. Moreover, Chongqing will also organize an innovation and startup contest in the form of “assistance from the government, special support and market operation”. There are innovation funds and new products subsidies prepared for scientific and technological SMEs. In the future, we may support the projects to win an innovation and startup contest, instead of giving appraisal and assistance to scientific and technical projects. In that way, more “gold ideas” of innovation and startup will come true, and a better atmosphere for innovation and startups will be created.
